Emperor's Reckoning-Chapter 10: Foolishly Falling into a Trap

Lyon walked up to Jugen who was on the floor.

"Hey, you alright?"

"I-I'm fine, thank you, don't you think you overdid it a little," said Jugen with his beaten-up body.

"Did I? I didn't even use half of my power on that attack, or else this building was done for." (And if that happens I don't want to know what those two women would do to me.).

*tap*tap

"Who are you?! Why are you doing this?! Don't you know who he is?!" said the old man as he approached Lyon with a stern face.

"My name is Lyon Torga, The Genius, as for why, mainly because he ruined my food, secondly he beat up my lunch partner."

"Hmph!! Anybody can tell a lie, Lyon you are hereby punished by imprisonment for six years for almost crippling a fellow student. " said the old man as he suddenly turned his back on Lyon to tend Poska.

"Heh...." smiled Lyon as his aura was surging to envelop the old man.

However before the aura touched the old man, a beautiful voice came to the ears of everyone.

"I can vouch for him," said Luna while grabbing her wrist with one hand like a queen.

"Ah miss Luna if you can vouch for him then it must be true." said the old man hurriedly.

(Hmm, apparently she has a higher background) thought Lyon as he retracted his aura.

*Swoosh

Lyon moved like the wind and approached Luna face to face.

(Bro, I still have some bruises here and you already left me for a woman, at least heal me damn it!) thought Jugen while he smiled wryly.

"Say, beautiful lady, are you single at the moment?" asked Lyon with a gentleman's smile.

*Whoah

Everybody was startled by the sudden question. Nobody had ever asked this taboo question for years. That was because of Luna's scary background, She was actually a princess from the Kingdom of Phantera in the north region. The Kingdom of Phantera was famous for its military force and history. She was here because she was fighting the arranged marriage her father had for her.

"I am single at the moment." smiled Luna sweetly.

"Great, nice to meet you, Luna, I am Lyon," said Lyon naturally.

"Hahaha, you are so interesting, common people usually introduce first rather than asking their romantic life." chuckled Luna.

"Well what can I say, I'm an uncommon genius." chuckled Lyon.

"Lyon are you interested in joining the Student council?"

"Hmmm..."

"You'll be the Vice President, that occupation has been vacant for too long."

"Hmmmm..."

"You will get a daily salary of about 10 silver per day."

"Hmm..."

*Swoosh, Jugen lurked up behind Lyon and whispered "My Big brother Lyon, I heard rumors about the president, taking a shower here inside the academy at night when she had a ton of works. But we can't get inside the academy at night because only the president and vice president have access, of course, the owner has it too but that doesn't matter."

Lyon's eyes were brightened, then heaven and world energy condensed on his left finger as he wrote "Light heal" and chanted.

*Zing

A brown magic brand appeared on top of Jugen's head and fell through his body as the bruises were no more.

"Thank you, big brother," whispered Jugen. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

"No problem little bro," whispered Lyon.

Nobody had an idea that this friendship was the beginning of the epic tale of Jugen 'The Marksman of God'.

"Okay deal!" said Lyon enthusiastically.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Who did this?!" said a fat old man. This man was actually Poska's father Greg Glory the duke. just like his son, he had the personality of that of a tyrant. This duke had many wives but only a single son. Even the mother of Poska was actually approaching the duke because of wealth.

The duke was always eyeing on the throne since the king's death. He had devised a plan to kill the current Queen, but it always ended in failure since Fei was guarding her 24/7. He had already amassed support from 90% of the duke in the kingdom. However, since the Trio C and Zitian were still alive any thought of rebellion was suppressed instead.

"It-it was Lyon, Fa..-ther," said Poska trembling as he still felt traumatized with the near-death event.

"The one that caused ruckus the other day?"

"Y-yes it was him."

"Why did he do this to you?"

"I tried to make him join my banner but not only he refused, but I also become like this."

"What did the teacher thinks about this?"

"He was about to be punished by imprisonment but Luna vouch for him."

"Princess Luna did? Hmm, this will be tough, endure this my son, at least you are not crippled. The time has almost come just endure this one."

"Yes, father." (Hehehe Lyon just you watch!).

-------------------------------------------------------

Inside the Sylviana's room.

"Miss I have some good news and bad news regarding Lyon," said Fei.

*sigh

"It's only the first day, what is the bad news?" asked Sylviana while rubbing her temple.

"He almost crippled duke Greg's son and put a hole on the cafeteria roof."

*sigh

"Of all people he can fight, it just had to be that guy's son. So what's the good news?"

"He became a Vice President of the student council."

"He what? How can that be?"

"Miss Luna vouch for him."

"Luna did? arrrgh she probably also saw the potential in him! That girl is quick-witted indeed."

-------------------------------------------------------

The student council room was not grand or extravagant. It only had two desks, one small desk for the president, and one large desk in the middle of the room for the rest. The room was heading to the east, so the sunrise could be seen at the large window behind the President's desk.

"So Lyon, I hear you already got a position for the competition," said Luna while clasping her hand on the table.

Lyon squinted his eyes.

"Hehehe no need to worry, I have my own connection on this matter."

"Hmm.. you are one dangerous woman, I have one question, why of all the position in this council the crucial Vice President is vacant?" asked Lyon.

"You will know that answer in due time." smiled Luna. "For now sign this contract with a drip of your blood," said Luna as she handed the contract.

(This is a trap... I know this is a trap, I shouldn't sign it.) then the whisper of Jugen echoed in his head (Bro, she take a bath at the academy at night,....at night...at night....only Vice president and President had access.....access...access.).

*Slash

*Splurt

With one quick move, Lyon slashed his thumb with the pen and sprayed his blood over the contract. (Ah, I and my horny mind always bring more trouble than I should).

*Zing 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

*Zing

A purple magic brand appeared as the blood and the contract made contact and at the same time, purple-magic-brand was imprinted on Lyon and Luna's right arm. Under the magic brand were the words "Heaven's Deal".
